Plenty of pace in Pep's Barca with Pedro and Messi. And pressing was at a very high level, similar to this Liverpool. Salah is closest player to Messi in terms of role on the field as well.
No mate. Not at all...
IF there is something similar is the way Liverpool put Firminho in the past as a false 9 to feed wide attackers Mane,Salah,
just as Messi was doing in Pep's Barca for Villa, Pedro
ALL ELSE is DIFFERENT
Liverpool's pressing is far more wild and terrifying, and they are a much more direct team compared to Pep's Barca
If a modern team looks like that Barca is City and no other team.
Barca md wayyyyy more technical and intricate, full or triangles rondos quick interchange.
Liverpool md more direct, energetic, running, and destroying.
Full backs - CBs whole different world...
